HI all.
I just finished repainting my car and while I was at it, decided to add/change few things. So I bought new DEPO front corner lights and all new LED bulbs for all around. The part I really liked are the front bulbs, which light up white while the driving lights are on, but blink orange. They of course caused hyper flash. I got a Radio Flyer Innovations harness and fitted it under the dash. This took care of the hyper flash and everything seemed to work perfect.
After driving the car for three days I got the light for the active handling lit up on my dash and a code c1295, together with messages in the DIC "service traction control" and "service active handling".
I did a google search for the code and the first thing that comes is related to installing LED bulbs in the tail lights. Since this happened away from home, I did not worry about it too much and figured out I'll deal with it later.
Then I get pulled over on my way home in the dark. The trooper comes and tells me that I got pulled over because I have a white light facing back. I was like WWHHAAAAAT?
So he pointed to me where the right side of of my back up lights is constantly on, even when I am not in reverse.
Has anyone else experienced issues like this? And can anyone tell me how to fix these problems or should I just go back to my stock bulbs?
Thanks in advance

 

A lot of people including me have had the same issue.Stock bulbs would be the easiest fix,but there was a post on here a few days ago where the fellow installed a resistor on one of the bulb bases to correct his.My problem was in the bulb.It wasn't getting good contact on the base.A little filing on the contacts and all is good.Glad the harness worked out for you!!

 

Thanks jamieo. I was hoping that someone like radioflyer would chime in.
His harness adds resistence. Or is it just for the blikers? So I need his harness AND another resistor in the rear?

 

The resistor was a necessity for me even with an led relay which is what the radio flyer harness is.

 

Found this on my car. My issue was that I had no resistors on my brake lights tail lights (I have euro style LED tail lights) and I installed a scanning 3rd brake light. This showed up as not enough current for the brake lights and threw the code. Installing a single load resistor on the brake light circuit fixed the problem.

It's worth noting that this problem will happen regardless if you have our hyperflash bypass harness.

 

I can take most of my car apart and put it back together. I have no problem changing heads, headers, suspension parts etc., but when it comes to electrical things, I am 100% clueless to what is what.
So can someone please explain to me what I need, where I can get it from and where/how to install it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. And I need instructions for dummies. LOL
Also I forgot to mention that I filled in the side markers on the rear fenders, so those lights were not needed and I pulled the bulbs out. So should I put bulbs in there (they will just glow behind the bumper) or can I just leave the sockets empty?
Thanks in advance.

 

I'm curious who you purchased your LED bulbs from

We can send you a resistor you need along with t-taps for $10 shipped.

Installation is easy, on any of your tail light bulbs, there are 3 wires, use the t-taps on the 2 outer wires and install the resistor between them.

 

I bought the LED bulbs from Aaron LED in California. Very happy with the service.
I tried to go get resistors locally, simply because I did not want to wait. I read on another thread that what I need is a 60Watts 7 ohm resistor. Honestly, this is like chinese for me, but this is what I went out looking for. Radioshack had 1 watt resistors and O'reiley's had a package of two 25W resistors.
Long story short, I would like to take you on your offer. How do I go about it?

 

Your turn signals/brake lights are rated at 27w so it's critical that your resistor have a rating higher than that to be safe (otherwise the resistor will burn/fail. The resistors from radioshack typically don't have heat sinks either.

The industry standard is a 6 ohm 50w resistor for this application. (which is what you'll get from us) It's also contained in a heat sink to help radiate the heat away from the resistor.

To order simply purchase 1 custom order credit.
